Cold, windy and wet ride home. Not very nice weather at all.

Also a very odd thing happened; I was approaching a pedestrian crossing, and could see a pedestrian about to cross. I slowed down, in case I needed to stop. They also slowed down whilst walking across(!), until eventually they stopped right in front of me in the middle of the road. I consequently came to a halt a few feet back from the crossing.

The pedestrian turned to me - it was an older woman.
'You have to stop!' she barked at me. 'It's a pedestrian crossing'.
Me:- 'Madam, I am stopped.'
Mad old woman:- 'Only just! You cyclists have to obey the rules of the road as well, you know'.
Me:- 'That's what I am doing, Madam'.

After this little exchange, the mad old woman stomped off, and I continued on my way.

All very odd!
